Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Of course, just doing these things wouldn't be of much use; at most, it would only last a day.

Fang Zheng Yi didn't expect that if he collected all the stamps, the examiners wouldn't stamp anymore.

After throwing away the stamps, he returned to the public office and began to bury himself in writing at his desk.

Zhang Dongxiang didn't say much when he saw him return, after all, the examiners also needed to rest.

Soon, a letter was written and sealed. Fang Zheng Yi took the letter to the inner curtain door, where an official was responsible for the connection between inside and outside.

Before long, the outer curtain official came to meet him.

Fang Zheng Yi handed over the letter and two silver notes, and instructed the outer curtain official: "Help me find someone to deliver this letter to Xie Xian of 'Banshan Daily.'"

"Also, find someone to buy some good wine and food outside and send it over immediately! Get as much abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and bird's nest as possible! The food inside is terrible, and everyone can't get used to it!"

"Use the remaining silver to get some good wine and food for the brothers outside, understand?"

The outer curtain official took the silver notes and letter, swallowed his saliva, and hesitated: "Master Fang, this isn't in accordance with the rules, is it... It's okay to help you deliver the letter, but this wine and food is a bit..."

Seeing him hesitating, Fang Zheng Yi got angry and took out another silver note, slapping it into his hand: "This is a tip for your trouble, take it!"

"Hey! It's just a meal, don't worry!"

"Lord Zhang said he's old, half of his body is in the ground, and he just wants to eat something good every day. Everyone is annoyed by him sighing all day long."

"You tell me, where can you eat good food in the examination hall? He's suffered his whole life, shouldn't he be allowed to enjoy himself a little?"

Hearing him say this, the outer curtain official nodded seriously: "Master Fang is thoughtful, I will go and take care of it immediately!"

"That's right! That's the way to do it! Don't be afraid of something happening, Lord Zhang is there to take responsibility if the sky falls!"

"The brothers outside also have it rough! Everyone eat and drink well, don't save money, come to me if you overspend!"

The outer curtain official was moved.

Master Fang is really considerate, even thinking of the brothers outside!

"Thank you, Master Fang! I'll go now!"

"Okay, go! If anyone gives me something tomorrow morning, remember to find someone to pass it on to me immediately!"

"No problem!"

............

After a series of arrangements, Fang Zheng Yi returned to the public office contentedly.

He had really been busy all day, but it was all worth it; at least he and the candidates could be a little more comfortable.

The sky gradually darkened, and the examination was still in progress. Fang Zheng Yi continued to return to the examination hall after resting for a short time.

When the sun went down, it was also necessary to distribute three candles to each candidate.

Only after the three candles burned out would the day's examination officially end.

After Fang Zheng Yi finished distributing the candles, other examiners began to find Fang Zheng Yi one after another.

The reason they were looking for him was naturally to ask for their stamps back.

Although not many people went to relieve themselves, it didn't matter if a few occasionally went, but they still needed to use them!

These were all rules passed down! They couldn't be relaxed!

Fang Zheng Yi dealt with a few people and welcomed another wave. This time, four people came together.

The examiners must have communicated. Although they didn't know why Fang Zheng Yi had borrowed so many stamps, he definitely had something up his sleeve!

One examiner went straight to the point: "Master Fang... where are our stamps? When can we get them back? And why did you borrow so many stamps?"

Fang Zheng Yi laughed and said: "Oh, everyone, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"Look at my memory! I forgot them in the public office while I went back to drink tea... I was afraid of delaying the invigilation, so I was too lazy to go back, so I could only borrow from others. This is too coincidental! How come you all happened to run into it! Isn't this a living coincidence to death!"

The four examiners' faces darkened.

You borrowed all our stamps to save trouble, and you can forget four times in a row, did you leave your brain in the public office too!

"Master Fang, then please help us get them. Everyone still needs to use them, there should be borrowing and returning."

"This...." Fang Zheng Yi looked up at the sky: "Everyone, why don't we just forget about it? It's almost the end of the day, and this thing isn't urgently needed."

"I'll help you get them after I go back. Oh, right, I ordered some wine and food from outside, everyone has worked hard all day, let's eat something good together at night!"

Seeing that his attitude was so good, the examiners' faces eased slightly.

Indeed, it wasn't long before the end of today's examination, and it wasn't urgent to use this thing, nor was it necessary.

"Okay, then we'll do as Master Fang says, but we can eat the food, but there's no need for wine! We still have to grade papers tonight!"

Fang Zheng Yi nodded and cupped his hands.

He breathed a sigh of relief after the examiners left.

He'll stall for as long as he can! He'll get through today first, and the problem won't be too big tomorrow!

Afterward, Fang Zheng Yi inspected a few more times. The reporters all claimed to have gone to the restroom, and no marks were left on the papers, so he was relieved a lot.

......

Before long, the examination ended.

Fang Zheng Yi returned to the public office with a body full of fatigue. At this moment, several tables of good wine and food had already been placed in the public office, and people were still continuously serving dishes.

At first glance, it was all hard dishes! It seemed that the outer curtain official had really put his heart into buying them.

Zhang Dongxiang saw Fang Zheng Yi and immediately asked: "Master Fang! Did you ask someone to buy this wine and food?"

"Yes! That's right... I thought everyone was tired after a day, and the food in the kitchen here is terrible, so I invited everyone to eat something good. Is there a problem?"

Zhang Dongxiang's attitude was kind, after all, there was no reason to lose his temper for being invited to a meal.

He only instructed: "This is your first time invigilating, so you don't know... Usually we eat what the candidates eat. Otherwise, how can we convince the public?"

"You must not buy these wines and dishes again tomorrow. The old man accepts the good intentions for the other examiners, so let's take these down!"

Many people actually wanted to eat it. The food in the examination hall was watery and tasteless, making it difficult to swallow.

There were rules, but it wasn't a big deal to close the door and have a simple meal!

However, due to Zhang Dongxiang's status, no one dared to speak.

Fang Zheng Yi glanced at the expressions of the others and said loudly: "Don't! Wouldn't that be a waste?"

"'Hoeing weeds under the midday sun, sweat drips down to the soil, who knows that every grain on the plate, is the result of hard toil!'"

"Clap if you understand!"

The people present showed surprised expressions.

Wow! What a good poem! What a good poem! He can even write poetry off the cuff! It's rumored that this Master Fang is a master of incomplete verses, but today he actually came up with a complete one!

Hearing him say 'clap if you understand' at the end, the examiners couldn't help but clap their hands.

Zhang Dongxiang also showed a surprised expression.

He didn't expect Fang Zheng Yi to suddenly show off! And he did pretty well! Before, he thought this kid was copying half a sentence from somewhere!

However, the sentence 'clap if you understand' at the end made him feel out of place for some reason.

Applause echoed in the public office, and Zhang Dongxiang couldn't keep up his act anymore.

He turned to the examiners and smiled: "Since every grain is the result of hard toil, then there is no reason to waste food. Why don't we accept Master Fang's kindness today, what do you all think?"

The examiners naturally agreed unanimously! Who wouldn't want to eat good food?

Fang Zheng Yi was overjoyed in his heart.

Eat it, eat it! He who eats of a man's bread sings his song! Criticize me gently later!
